Election Central | Talking Points Memo | Breaking: White House Faults Rush Limbaugh Over "Phony Soldiers" Comment

Election Central Talking Points Memo Breaking: White House Faults Rush Limbaugh Over "Phony Soldiers" Comment:

"Perino said: 'The President believes that if you are serving in the
military that you have the rights that every American has which is you're free
to express yourself in any way that you want to. And there are some that oppose
the war, and that's okay.' Pressed specifically about Rush's 'phony soldiers'
phrase, she added: 'It's not what the President would have used, no.'"


It is good to see the White House take a solid and reliable stand on the honor of the troops. Even in the face of their own political foot soldiers.

Looks like you may have jumped the gun. AP reports that what he was talking about actually was a phony soldier: http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/32-09292007-1415257.html

[Macbeth, 23, of Tacoma, Wash., tried to position himself as a leader of the anti-war movement by claiming to have participated in war crimes when in fact he was kicked out of the Army in 2003 after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga.]
